From Wall Street to Washington Heights, down Fifth Avenue, over bridges, and across the grid, VISIONSĀ® OF NEW YORK CITY celebrates the irresistible attraction of the little 25- by 2-mile island that has captured the hearts of millions and sparked countless lifelong love affairs.
New York City has long been a symbol of the American Dream and the first stop for immigrant families for generations - and in modern times, has become the symbol of America’s continuing strength. VISIONSĀ® OF NEW YORK CITY offers New York in all its striking juxtapositions of nature and modern progress, geometry and geography - the harbor from Lady Liberty’s perspective; Central Park as the birds experience it; the crucifix architecture of St. Patrick’s Cathedral as intended from the heavens; neighborhoods from the Lower East Side, Little Italy and Chinatown to Harlem and the Upper West Side and more - aerial and ground
footage enhanced by informative narration to highlight the city’s iconic images, boundless energy and enduring allure.
Executive Producer/Aerial Director: Roy A. Hammond; Producer/Editor/Writer: Sam Toperoff; Camera operator: Grant Bieman.
